Came to NoS after recommended by another forum subscriber (YNAB). I was asking about a healthy eating habit that clicks the same way that YNAB budgeting method clicked, and someone suggested me NoS. It clicked right away, and although I have seen that before somewhere, but this time I said, ok time to try this.
A little Background:
38 Male, 173 Lbs BMI about 26 (minimal muscles)
I was a believer in the "healthy snacks".
I was eating nuts and fruits all day long! I was thinking that this helps me eat less on lunch and dinner. Obviously I was eating the same amount in my meals with or without snacks before them. That means more calories of course.
I tried counting calories before and it worked, then I was tired of it specially that my wife is a good cooker and always cook from scratch (hard to calculate the calories and nutrants). So I was on a Yo-yo with counting calories.
Now I have been 3 days on the NoS diet. I think this thing is working. Mainly because it is simple. Also I now drink more water, so everytime I feel like I wanted to binge on a snack I drink water instead and I feel fine! I was obviously eating because I am thirty or may be because I was just bored!!
Too early to say I lost weight but I am a patient person. And the good habits themselves worth doing it:
- More water
- More joy during the meal
- I now eat when I am hungry (sure of it this time cause it is only three meals)
- Sleep earlier (before I feel I want to snack!)
- Waking up earlier (So I can find time to eat a decent breakfast that fills me up)
- Free mind between the meals so I can do more things in life than eating
- No worry when getting out cause I "need a snack and no snack is around"
Also, today is the first day that I notice that I don't really have to fill my plate that much, I can still do 1 plate, 3 meals, yet healthy food and healthy portions. To my surprise I can survive that!!
I hope this works for lifetime, I will stop by here to update my weight and BMI and success rate every now and then. Wish me luck!
Thanks!
